Superhero movies: "The Death of Cinema" or the new "Golden Age"?

Audiences can be strongly divided when it comes to musicals, and the same goes for superhero flicks. Are these “theme park movies” the “death of cinema” or are they just a product of the times? In this roundtable with special guest Steven Butler, we cover many facets of movie musicals, superhero franchise films, and how they reflect the circumstances in which they are made and viewed. Also: what is on the horizon of big screen spectacles and what factors are determining our course forward?
